I’m sorry if you haven’t been able to access the blog for a few days as I’ve been having some trouble with the database that has caused some downtime.  Hopefully I’ve got everything straightened out now, but there’s always a chance that it could be down a bit more today or tomorrow when I try to fix one more issue.

I still haven’t fixed the comments issue, so I’m still manually verifying comments.  What sucks is I think the only way to really fix it is to completely lose all previous comments.  Luckily I haven’t had to deal with a lot of spam lately to manually deny, so I’m hoping that means I can keep manually doing things for awhile.  If spam kicks back up again I’ll have to go back to the idea of wiping everything clean where the comments are concerned.

A friend suggested one more possible fix for the comments though, so I’m going to hopefully try that today.  I apologize for any downtime that may result from that later today or tomorrow.
